How we built Magento SMS Extension

The extension was created for SMS integration to send it through magento e-commerce platform. The notification is sent at different events in the website:

To send order ID after the order is placed

To send invoices

To send notifications during credit memo

To send notifications at shipping events

The extension was integrated with the existing API to send notifications during various events on the main website. Our Magento developers implemented different technologies to make the process-flow easy. We fetched various events on the website and used them to send notifications at the time of a particular event, say, order placement. Certain SMS templates were created with various variables like order-ID, shipping-ID etc, so that a personalized message can be added to the template. The templates were linked to order state changes through which store owner can notify the customers when required. Also, a notification template was created which was sent to customers when old status changes to new status. To send message to mobile devices all round the world, functionality was integrated into the system by implementing communication with CM Direct API. This supports sending notification via HTTP. This notification functionality was integrated, through which store owner was able to enter and edit his CM Direct API details and get identified.
